Dan was a beautiful person who would donate much of his time to special needs children. He was the type of person who would do anything for just about anyone. He was very well liked in our area. The amazing story of Dan is that he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer over ten years ago. He has battled it ever since. About two years ago Dan had an old guitar that he wanted to get tuned up so that his son can play it. Dan never played he purchased the guitar in a garage sale some fifteen years ago. He brought the guitar to a friend of ours who is the lead singer and guitarist of a very good local band from our area. The guy said to him of course I will, but how come you don't play. Dan said, I have tried and being that I am ill, there is no way I have time to learn, I just don't have the strength. Well, the lead guitarist says to him "nonsense, I can teach you if you want" So, Dan agreed. To make a long story short, Dan learned how to play and became good enough that the band had made him an official member. He also learned to play the harmonica and bongo's, and he found out thta he can also sing. This all happened at the age of 62 years old.(Amazing). Dan played with the band for almost two years before his strenght just gave in. I saw him playing just two weeks ago before I heard of his passing yesterday. His favorite song was "Ring of Fire" and Johnny Cash himself would have been proud of Dan for the way he sang it. He will be missed by many...R.I.P. (DanO) Dan Osborne
Yesterday afternoon I heard the very sad news of the passing of a dear friend of mine. After hearing of this I went into my sunroom and just sat there starring into the sky thinking about him and all the great and memorable times that we had shared together. I really don't know if this was my mind playing tricks on me or god himself showing me that my friend was on his way to heaven. As I was looking teary-eyed and dumbfoundedly into the clear blue sky. I noticed a small white cloud all by itself with no other clouds insight. I watched it as it slowly dissipated and vanished. I recall saying to myself "wow, it's like life, it can come and go just like that, one minute it's here and the next minute it's not." In my entire life I have never seen what I have saw a few seconds later. What I saw was that little white cloud forming again out of nowhere. As I was watching it, the cloud transformed into an almost perfect shaped heart. Then within a few seconds, this was amazing, it transformed again into an angel. A few seconds after, it transformed again into what appeared to look like an angel that was carrying a person behind itself as the person was lying on a bed with his hands folded on his waist and looking peaceful. Believe me not, you really had to see what I saw to believe this beautiful moment I witnessed. It had to be the lord sending me this message and letting me know that he was in good hands and on his way to heaven. An unbelievable experience or my mind just adrift, either way he is on his way.
